WHEREAS, this Commission did, on its own motion, by Reso- lution No; 419 adopted September 26, 1961, institute pJ;'oceedings for the purpose of considering and making recommendati9ns concerning the reclassification to Zones R-3-R, C-2, and C-3 and b (Architec- . tural Overlay) of certain properties on Duarte Road, Naomi Avenue, Lovell Avenue and Baldwin Avenue, pursuant tomich a p*blic hearing was, after notice as required by law, duly held for said purpose by and before this Commission on October 10, 1961, which hearing was duly continued to November 14, 1961, at each of which times all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be~eard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That there were communications both for and against the proposed rezoning and those who spoke in favor of it and others who spoke against it. That the reasons presented agaihst . the proposed rezoning were chiefly increased traffic and the gradual encroachment of commercial and apartment house development into residential areas. SECTION 2. That subject property is located in an area with increasing commercial development; that some qf the lots abut commercialllf zoned property and the lot on Baldwin Avenue is situ- ated between two commercially zoned lots. That conditions indicate -1- 432 J...-- ~ . . ~ that more commer~ial development is required and that further de- velopment of the Baldwin Avenue-Duarte Road area is desirable; that ~ ~ the present need seems to be for stores rather than office buildings. That with the present widening of Duarte Road and Baldwin Avenue, those streets are able to take care of the increase in traffic which further commercial development would bring, provided Naomi Avenue is widened and certain alleys are provided, and that provision for these alleys be made a condition to the rezoning of the property. That the investment required to develop property to the present,R-3-R stand- ards indicates that a monthly rental of from $300 to $$00 would be required, and it does not appear that there will be ne$d of that type of apartment house development in this area even if the com- mercial properties in the immediate vicinity are fully developed. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons t~is Commission recommends that property in the City of Arcadia, Count1 of Los Angeles, State of California, described as follows: Lots 11 to 14, inclusive, Lots 18 to 27, in- clusive, and the Westerly 9 feet of Lot 17, Tract No. 4611, as shown on map recorded in Book 51 pf Maps, page 82, in the office of the Recorder of said County, be rezoned from Zones R-l and R-2 to Zones C-3 and D (Architectural . , Overlay) upon the following conditions: a.
